Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Indo fails to enhance CTX efficacy in immunodeficient NSG mice. The schema depicts the timeline of experimental procedures. NSG mice bearing established CT26 tumors (60–90 mm²) were randomized into four groups and treated as indicated. Tumor growth curves are shown. (B) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of the same cohort. Data were pooled from two independent experiments. (C) The beneficial effect of Indo requires endogenous CD8⁺ T cells. The schema depicts the timeline of experimental procedures. BALB/c mice bearing established CT26 tumors (60–90 mm²) were treated with CTX+Indo. A subset of mice additionally received i.p. anti-CD8 Ab before and during treatment to deplete endogenous CD8⁺ T cells. Mice treated with CTX alone were included as controls. Tumor growth curves are shown. Mouse survival is summarized in the Kaplan-Meier plot (D). (E) Blockade of T cell trafficking by FTY720 diminishes the efficacy of CTX+Indo. BALB/c mice with established CT26 tumors (60–90 mm²) were treated with CTX+Indo. These mice also received either FTY720 or solvent by i.p. injection three times weekly for 4 weeks, starting one day prior to CTX administration. Tumor growth curves are shown. (F) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. Data were pooled from two independent experiments. Data were pooled from two independent experiments. Statistics: (B, D, F) Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
